  HURRICANE MINDY Well, would you look at that hurricane season is upon us once again. Hurricane season runs from the beginning of June until the end of November. We have seen this just here recently in the last couple of weeks with Hurricane Ida, Larry, and now Mindy. According to CNN , Tropical Storm Mindy started with some heavy rain over Georgia and over parts of South Caroline. Forecasters have said that this could push flash floods and maybe even a few tornados through the coast. She has made her appearance coming up through the gulf on Wednesday afternoon. As Mindy continued, it finally made landfall in the Florida Panhandle in St. Vincent later that night. Here are some links to the Twitter accounts informing people about this hurricane: Tropical Storm Mindy has formed in the Gulf of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center says, and forecasters have issued storm warnings for the Florida panhandle https://t.co/ami5tZsonu — CNN Breaking News (@cnnbrk) September 8, 2021 Tropical...

Yes, I understand that there are still newscasts but as social media has grown over the years I feel as if the numbers that actually watch TV have gone down. Same thing with newspapers. As social media advances, you will see a decrease in people reading the newspaper. Nicole Martin  says "In a recent survey, 50 percent of Internet users surveyed said that they hear about the latest news via social media before ever hearing about it on a news station. Many internet users will see breaking stories on their feed and go to the news to learn more." Growing up, I don't ever r...
